Rocket Ride
Album - 20 gennaio 2006 - Debaser id 279423

Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me, isn't that strange
You bleed to get there - you are ready
To be a bird in a golden cage

Sweat is breaking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain
Room is dark and big and empty
Silence driving me insane

Night has fallen - demons laughing
I'm waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay

Searching for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the edge

And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam

There's a part of me that has not been sold
Save me please embrace me hold me
Kiss my bleeding soul
You can't see below the creature
That's pounding, sitting in my neck
If you'd see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me

I'm looking for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the abyss

And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam

Nothing remains the same
But still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same
Where am I gonna go is it my destination
Or just a sick temptation
And I remember home when demons came
And I got swept away from me

I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mess I returned to profanity

I've been reaching for the sky
but I got stuck with my feet down in concrete

Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - woah
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more in life than struggle - Take a rocket ride

Suffered my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it until you really try

Tried to jump but held down by concrete
the venery surrounding my feet

Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - woah
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more in life than struggle - Take a rocket ride

Oh I've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting - temptation
Carried out to sea - I'm drifting - I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away - I'm drifting away

I've been reaching for the sky
but I got stuck with my feet down in concrete

Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - woah
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more in life than struggle - Take a rocket ride

The dream is over - no one's to take the blame
We believed in roses but only thorns remained

When I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
Put our blood into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black

Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?

Maybe I am different, maybe I'm a fool
And I wonder if it's worth it
Trying to find another you

And I look into the rear view mirror
Just to see how fucked I look
While I drive along that street with a dead end
Like a moth to the flame it's gonna suck me into pain

Still we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?

What are we heading for, why do I dare again?
Once bitten twice shy and still we never learn

So here I'm lying - A leisure-poet in pain
Involuntary loner, I know that life is just a game
Where nobody gets out alive - A sedative shot for me
No happy man gets out alive - Neither of us you will see

Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?

I see your face in a masquerade
I see your made up smile
When the show is over, then what is left behind?
It's in your eyes, it's in your hair
How come they say opposites attract?
When all you feel is a struggle deep inside?

Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix

I'm feeling pushed, from left to right
Is this the way it's meant to be?
Is my destiny crawling on my knees?

Now who is right? And who is wrong?
Who is the one that won't belong?
Who is for real? And who's just pretending to be?

Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Into the matrix

No more lies, no disguise
I'm tracing the matrix
No more...

Lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
Into the matrix

Road lies ahead
And a long road lies behind me
I see lights passing by
And I know it's the time of our lives
A million miles
Lightyears I've been travelling
To watch and enjoy this wolrld
And I've seen ass galore

I'm musing over it all
Closing my eyes to remember it all
Embracing the past and the future to come
Kiss the road that leads to my tribe..

I've found my way home
I'll return to where I belong
Back to where I stem from-back to Paradise
Time to return to the tribe!

The other side - always close to the edge
Been walking a thin line
Always knew someone watched my step
A mistery to make it out alive and sane
The battle is over
And I know who's been with me..

Now I'm musing over it all
On top of this world I remember it all
Awaiting that sunrise and sunset at home
Kiss the way that leads me to my tribe

I've found my way home...

I've seen battlefields, drunk drummers
Japanese hotel toilets
Piesel tuning guitar
And A.C. being my personal slave

Crying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
Soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home...

You long to be see - through
So nobogy can tell
Whenever they made you
Bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by a one track mind
Initiating you
Splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison
The sweeter semlls the bloom

Don't you try to stand your ground
Cause you're only coming home

To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams

It's burning inside you
This emotional hell
And you keep on smiling
Upon the icy tiles
A stram of fire to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
Too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness
For wicked harmony

Little angel thrown away
Sure'll be back another day

To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams

Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Conceaked humiliation
Now let them dance
Liberation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallows tree

Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home

In the heart of fire
He's found his asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams

You do not know, and you don't care
And you may never learn
I made approaches, you gave me teeth
And got my hope inurned

Unpreposessing, that's what you say
Don't get the essential point
What it came down to was - you ain't got nothing
Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd

You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
You've had your chance, but you're much too vain to take it
The catch of the century

Nobody's waiting, cause all the world is already spoken for
A host of rivals, I'm out of vogue and I'll be forever more
You strut around, sneer from on high, I'm on the road again
I'm going down with flying colors, before I go down on somebody else

You got your chance going down the drain, you're dumping
The catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain, you're wasting
The catch of the century

"I tell you, one day you will regret it
I will sell millions of records
And I'm gonna have hundreds of women
And seven, seven Ferraris!
A private jet!
Uh... A helicopter license!
And I'm gonna be the Formula One world champion!
I´m gonna have a big house! ?
And you will be nothing! Nothing! Nothing!
You will be nothing but nothing!
Waah! Yeah! You, nothing! Nothing you're nothing!
Helicopter!"

"Tobi, es ist gut jetzt"

"Gut?"

Jeer at him moving in slow-mo surrounded
by a spirit-entourage so odd-inviting sneer
You ride the spinning wheel that's getting faster
outside they saw the passing centuries

Round and round merry go round
round and round you go
Scream and shout laugh aloud

It's so out of vogue
to lead a way outside the catalogue,you're in vogue
and don't understand
It's so out of vogue to contradict
your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
trapped in vogue?

So don't you miss a thing in your carrousel
you feel so proud behind the steering wheel
The mind you sold waves at you from outside
and you feel happy as you kneel

Lady dark crack the whip-300 pounds of lust
one shall get what you need..

It's so out of vogue
How do you do inside the catalogue?
You're in vogue and don't miss a thing...

City lights are calling
slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fastlane
Mama let us waste no time

Devil in the doorway selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game

We never cry for love - we're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain - we're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

Way too long I've tried to be
what I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
but you can't control me
I ain't talking 'bout romance
you may fiddle I may dance
Anyway it's just a game we play..

We never cry for love..

You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight..

Cry for love - We're superheroes
We are back where we belong

We never cry for love...

"Let me tell you a story about an ugly woman I know..."
"Hello Girls!"
"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!!!"

I'm a sight for sore eyes
Oh, if your eyes would only see
I've been born on tiptoe
Still you looked
like a lighthouse next to me

You pet named me Napoleon
I was proud
'til I got the reason why
Never aimed for confrontation
You've been sleeping
when I kissed your ass goodbye

Oh, while you read this letter
I'd just gone to eat out
By the way:

My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Hope you're okay light years away
My what a heat wave in Trinidad
Hope you don't mind if I stay

Pitcher goes too often to the well
And now the Pitcher's gone insane
(Ratatatataa) - gotta run away
boiling over - getting hell
And found the answer on a plane

Oh, I've been pissing off
Before you might
could have pissed me off
I hope you're fine, yeah

My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay? I do okay!
My what a heat wave in Trinidad
Sunburned a night flight away

"Honey you're looking good so far away from me
The weather is great, the beach is great, the food is great
Everything is great and you're so far away, I love you honey
Greetings from Trinidad, hey!"

My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay? I do okay!
My what a heat wave in Trinidad
Sunburned a night flight away

"Back and home in Germany I was a famous porn star, hahaha"

I saw her coming in high-heels,
living like a queen
A little sweet angel,
but deep underneath a mean machine
You're lying and wait to make me your fool,
you want me to bite
I'm gonna take the bait and the hunter for afters,
take you for a ride

And I don't wanna play no games
'cause I'm a bad, bad boy all around
Let me be your Titanic,
for you know what's going on
I'll make her down

Fucking with fire
I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire
and I take what I want
Fucking with fire
loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til
you've been gone with
the hairforce one

I don't make no mistakes (something, you´re right, fucking guy!) on a hell of a time
I'm a real go-getter, that's no doubt, down the line
I know what you want and I know what you need, your secret desire
Got the gloves of a man - the hands of a beast, and the pants on fire

And I don't wanna play no games 'cause I'm a nasty, bad boy all around, 'round
Let me be your Titanic, for you know what's going on - I'm going down. I'm...

...Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've been gone with the hairforce one

Honey you know what?
You know what I am...

...Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it 'til you've been down with the hairforce one
